The Château de Chenoise was the seat of the aristocratic Le Cat d'Hervilly family. After Louis Charles d'Hervilly fled France as an émigré, the château was confiscated and sold in 1793, but it was purchased by Adèle de Bellegarde and her sister Aurore, daughters of Louis Charles' sister Marie Charlotte Adélaïde Le Cat d'Hervilly.[3]
